“This Columbus Day celebration has been an annual event since 2009,” says event chair and FOCCP Vice President Ann Babbitt. “Children love walking in the parade through the park! It’s a great time for North End and Waterfront families and those who visit the Park on Columbus Day.”
The entertainment, including a magician, storyteller, games, will begin after a children’s parade through the Park and ceremony at the statue. The event is free to all thanks to the generous support of Al Dente Ristorante, Benevento’s, Boston Harbor Cruises, Boston PushCart, CL Waterfront Properties LLC, Joe’s American Bar and Grill, NorthEndBoston.com and Tia’s Restaurant. The North End Music and Performing Arts Center (NEMPAC) will participate with musicians, singers, and fun art projects.
The Friends of Christopher Columbus Park (www.foccp.org) is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization comprised of North End and Waterfront neighbors and business owners who work together to maintain and enhance the Park and to sponsor special events in the Park.
